My name is PFC Hutchinson, Joel D and this is my essay about meeting deadlines. Deadlines are there for a reason. Without a deadline to meet you could simply drag out whatever it is you’re working on for as long as possible, which is hardly a productive way of working. It is therefore important to meet any deadlines that have been set, because there is an expectation on the part of the Non-commissioned officer that you will come up with the goods within a set time-frame. If you fail to meet a...

Inspiration, as defined by the Marine Corps Manual (MCM), is the personal example of high moral standards reflecting virtue, honor, patriotism, and subordination in personal behavior and in performance.

This paper will cover the events of my first Platoon sergeant duty while my platoon was deployed to the National Training Center (NTC) although not assigned but a fill-in. My time as a platoon sergeant has given me insight...

As a Private First Class in the United States Marine Corps, it is my duty to identify and recognize the difference between a Sergeant and a Corporal.

The Marine Corps rank of Sergeant narrowly parallels that of the Corporal in regards to duties and responsibilities. The basic duties and responsibilities of all the...

“PLATOON… DISMISSED!” said the platoon sergeant. Without skipping a heart beat a platoon of 45 marines responded “DISMISSED, I SIR!” They all took one step back, they smartly raised their right arms with elbows at a 45 degree bend, their fingers joined and aligned to the tip of their cover rendering a salute. The platoon sergeant saluted the platoon back and returned his arm back to his side. In unison the platoon about faced and let out a thunderous “00H RAH!” It is payday Friday, two days of...

Why is the Chain of Command Important
The United States Army has a very distinct structure to maximize the efficiency of the command and control of soldiers, this structure is called the Chain of Command.

Rank was established to officially appoint someone to give orders to...

Like your N.C.O. in charge of you, to your Team Leader, to your Section Sergeant, to your Platoon...

Commissioned officers are direct representatives of the President. The President uses commissions as legal instruments to appoint and exercise direct control over qualified people who act as his legal agents and help him carry out duties. The Army retains this direct-agent relationship with the President through its commissioned officers. The commission serves as the basis for a commissioned officer’s legal authority. Commissioned officers command, establish policy, and manage Army...

﻿A Lesson on Life
By Jacob Schebler
“Where the hell is the armor?” I remember asking myself as I lumbered up into the open back of a Humvee with canvas doors. By the looks on the squad and translators’ faces, they were asking themselves the same question. These days we kept our questions to ourselves, asking questions was not in the job description. Our job, at all times, was to do what we were told and do it fast. You see, up until this point we had traveled in the relative safety of...

Prior to researching this topic, my impression of management was limited. My concept was meshed within the framework of business and economics.

This definition, one that I have derived from the compilation of many, incorporates two key variables. The first operative word in this...

The Department of Defense realizes that one needs to be responsible before one can be held accountable for anything.

In the U.S. Military services, rank determines who gets to tell whom what to do. The higher one's rank the more authority (and responsibility) they have.

The chain of command is an important structure in the military. First it allows problem to be handled at the lowest level possible in the command. If a military personnel has a problem he would go to his NCO first before going to their SCNOs or Commander; this way he isn’t stepping on people’s feet and everyone is aware of the situation so they can get it fixed. You also have to think of it in a war situation. If there was no chain of command then everyone would think they are in charge. If an...

ENC 101
Written Assignment 1
Throughout high school, English was never my favorite subject. It seemed bland and dull to me and I thought that whatever career I chose would have more to do with mathematics and sciences. So when I enlisted into the U.S. Army and eventually achieved the rank of Sergeant, I discovered that writing was one of the most important factors of my everyday life. Now there are many different forms and memorandums that write on a weekly basis, but if I had to choose...

"Equity is a subjective evaluation, not an objective one. Based on the comparison that individuals use, each individual is likely to develop different perceptions of equity." (Scholl, 2000) When individuals look at the equity model on the job scale, they compare their contributions and rewards to that of those around them (associates, coworkers, management, etc.). If the equation is balanced, the "equity"--as society puts it--is accomplished. If it is unbalanced, the inequity may cause...

This is a tribute to a man that has always been and will always be my mentor. His name is Alan Dale Jacobson, he is my father.
